Dally Post With Removable Cap And Sleeveless Dally Device

US Patent:
8397477, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Jun 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/825454
Inventors:
Sandy Hart Stephens - Prosper TX, US
International Classification:
B68C 1/02
US Classification:
54 441
Abstract:
A saddle horn assembly attached to the tree of a saddle in lieu of a conventional saddle horn consisting of a post of rectangular prismatic configuration with a receiving chamber for insertion of a quick release locking pin, a cap with a quick release locking pin attached to and protruding from the bottom thereof that allows the cap to be detached and reattached to the post within seconds, and a dally traction device with a central void of complimentary dimensions to the post, having a hyperboloid external configuration and being symmetrical in both the horizontal and vertical planes such that the device may be rotated and/or inverted about the post so that it may be quickly and easily manipulated to numerous positions to generate even wear about the exterior, thus increasing the longevity of the device and improving the safety and effectiveness of dallying.

Method Of And Apparati For Sizing Rodeo Ropes

US Patent:
2008031, Dec 18, 2008
Filed:
Jun 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/157259
Inventors:
Sandy H. Stephens - Prosper TX, US
International Classification:
G06F 19/00, A01K 15/04
US Classification:
702 1, 119805
Abstract:
A method for and apparatus for determining the loop size of a rodeo rope comprising determining a circumference C, determining a spoke S length, providing a chart having loop sizes corresponding to a range of circumference measurements and spoke measurements, and finding a loop size based upon the measured circumference and measured spoke. The loop size refers to a set of parameters that characterize the rope. The method can be implemented by a computer and associated software.

Weighted Lariat

US Patent:
8590489, Nov 26, 2013
Filed:
May 19, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/454544
Inventors:
Sandy Stephens - Prosper TX, US
Anthony William Benishek - Southlake TX, US
International Classification:
A01K 15/04
US Classification:
119805
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a weighted lariat that improves ropers' chances of catching animals by the head, horns, or feet, particularly in competitive roping events. Weight is added to the tip of the loop by covering a portion of the loop with shrink-wrap tubing. Additionally, an adhesive lining may be applied to allow for a weighted embodiment of minimum thickness thus and maximum flexibility. Additionally, elongated, malleable metal wires of variable length can be laid in the groove between the strands of the lariat thereby adding still more weight.

Anthony Benishek - Southlake TX, US
International Classification:
A01K 15/04
US Classification:
119805000
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a weighted lariat that improves ropers' chances of catching animals at which the lariat is thrown, particularly in competitive roping events.

Sandy Stephens - Prosper TX, US
Anthony Benishek - Southlake TX, US
International Classification:
A01K 15/04
US Classification:
119805000
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a weighted lariat that improves ropers' chances of catching animals at which the lariat is thrown, particularly in competitive roping events. Weight is added to the tip of the loop by covering a portion of the loop with an elastomer such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and the like.
